I have a ATI Radeon HD 4350 card.It does not have a heat sink but han a fan on it.Yesterday accidently the 2 wires connecting the card to its fan got severred :(
I tried to find a replacement fan at the computer stores but they couldn't provide one.So I think I will have to run my card without the fan. How can I keep it cool without the fan ? Should I use a PCI fan on the adjacent slot . And also how should I keep the card if I do this ?Once I remove the fan on it the main chip can be seen .

can the wires be soldered again. If yes go to any mobile repairing centre they can join the wires. I have done this to my one of the case fans recently by myself as i possess the soldering handle.
